CFL comes down on Haji-Rasouli

From TSN.CA:

The Canadian Football League imposed a one-game suspension on B.C. Lions offensive lineman Sherko Haji-Rasouli for his involvement in an altercation during the September 22nd game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium.
Lions offensive lineman Rob Murphy and receiver Cory Rodgers have each been fined an undisclosed amount for their involvement in the altercation.
"This type of action will not be tolerated," commented CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "While our game is intense and played with emotion, our players are required to act professionally and with respect to their opponents and the game at all times."
The one-game suspension is pending a formal review hearing that may be requested by the player.

The question now is, will H-R actually serve the suspension, or will it be overturned through the (ahem) highly credible arbitration process? Stay tuned!
